Month: June 2016

Today is a very emotional day for me. My Big Girl is having her last real day of school today, finishing 12 years of initial education with her last oral exam in Geography. I’m endlessly proud of her.

Partly it is emotional because I’m not home to bid her farewell and good luck for the last test this morning, because I had to leave the house early at 4:30 to catch a flight to Dallas where I’ll be spending the rest of the week on business.

A logo I can put on my website(s), on the facebook-page, on business cards, on a (potential future) letterhead as well as in the emails. A logo that could be the starting point for establishing a photographic brand. Continue reading “Want your own Logo ? DIY !”→
